Global Era of Star trekking-Chapter 801 - 421: 100,000-Year Grand Anniversary
As his voice trailed off, a man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, nearly eight feet tall, appeared within their line of sight.
This man was none other than Cui Ze, the youngest son of the current Family Head of the Cui from Qinghe.
His arrival at the Sneer Dragon Floating Land was not for leisure, but rather to check on the place in advance, as the old patriarch of the Zhangsun Family was soon to celebrate his grand birthday.
Speaking of the old patriarch of the Zhangsun Family, his name was Zhangsun Wuyong. He was not the Annihilation Starship Captain of the Right Principal Lineage but rather the true progenitor of the Zhangsun clan who had ascended to the status of an Eighth-Rank Torch Ship Captain tens of thousands of years ago, forming the foundational strength that made the Changsun Family an Eighth Rank powerhouse.
The Sheng Tang Dynasty, why is it called a dynasty rather than a kingdom like the Yaohan Kingdom and the Frandy Kingdom?
The reason is simple: there is a distinction between kingdoms, as kingdoms like the Yaohan Kingdom and the Frandy Kingdom, which were founded less than thirty thousand years ago and are governed by the highest-ranking officials being Seventh-Order Annihilation Starship Captains, can only claim themselves as kingdoms.
However, a dynastic state like the Sheng Tang Dynasty, which has been established for over one hundred thousand years and within it resides an Eighth-Rank Torch Ship Captain, is entitled to be called a dynasty.
Simply put, a kingdom that has an Eighth-Rank Torch Ship Captain can be called a dynasty.
Cui Yulong did not pay much attention to her nephew, and after glaring fiercely at him, she quickly introduced Song Chi and instructed Cui Ze that he could wander around but had to listen to Song Chi. If he couldn't do that, then he should stay put in the Jade Plum Courtyard.
After speaking, Cui Yulong called out to Song Chi again.
Once the two reached a corner, she waved her hand to form a layer of Spectral Energy isolation screen around them, and while taking out all the Black Hole Dense Stones from a special spatial bracelet, she softly spoke to Song Chi,
"These are Black Hole Dense Stones. The Void Stones are still in the family's secret vault, and we'll need to wait a few more days. Also, our ancestor's big celebration is coming up soon, and I'll be very busy these next few days. I'm entrusting little Ze to you."
After finishing her words, Cui Yulong turned to leave, evidently having many things to attend to.
However, Song Chi asked one last question.
"Sister Yulong, if those people from the Right Principal Lineage purposefully cause trouble, what extents can I go to here?"
His question was straightforward—whether he could act lethally if necessary.
Cui Yulong's reply was simple too.
"Just avoid fatalities, everything else is negotiable!"
Having received this response, Song Chi nodded, now clear on what measures he could take.
Cui Yulong soon left, with numerous tasks still demanding her attention. The Right Principal Lineage was likely targeting Cui Ze to disrupt her calculations, hoping to make her err during the upcoming celebration preparations so they could crush her decisively.
This event was marking the grand one-hundred-thousand-year celebration of the old ancestor of the Zhangsun Family. Not only the Sheng Tang Dynasty, but numerous surrounding kingdoms would send a significant number of delegations to congratulate, as the stakes were extremely high.
Should any mistakes emerge because of disarray under such circumstances, the entire image of the Zhangsun clan would be tarnished, impacting all the family lineages, including that of Cui Yulong's legitimate son.
"Waking of Insects big brother, let's go, I promise to follow your lead!"
While Cui Ze was somewhat restless, he was clear-headed about certain matters and knew that his aunt was concerned for his safety, hence he showed no signs of defiance.
Song Chi glanced at him but showed no intention of moving.
"Let's go tomorrow; I have some matters to handle today."
Upon hearing this, Cui Ze's expression soured as he was about to say something, but Song Chi, beating him to it, continued,
"Also, call me Waking of Insects big brother—since when am I your big brother!"
...
In an Underground Warship Summoning Room of the Jade Plum Courtyard, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was quietly docked.
In the Main Control Room, Song Chi, holding a pile of Black Hole Dense Stones, commenced the second phase of enhancement for the "Black Hole Evolution Layer" component.
With over a thousand Black Hole Evolution Stones at his disposal, the black-colored quality component had finally been enhanced to Lv50.
Beyond the Fifth Rank, the attributes of the component had significantly increased.
The Black Hole Energy Pool had evolved from a Third Rank's 300/300 to 3000/3000.
In addition, the energy consumed by the "Black Hole: Collapse" feature had skyrocketed from 1−30 to 1−300, with its collapsing effect's maximum might far surpassing that of the Third Rank.
Lastly, the component boosted the energy supply efficiency of the shipborne engine from 160% to 200%.
With these enhancements, the Cang Qiong had reached the limits of its current capability, giving Song Chi added confidence for any potential troubles in the coming days.
As time passed, the next day swiftly arrived.
Just after dawn, Cui Ze pulled Song Chi out of the Jade Plum Courtyard.
Seeing the excitement on his face, Song Chi could understand his feelings.
Although the Cui Family from the Qinghe Starfield was considered prominent, they paled in comparison to the present Zhangsun Family. If the Qinghe Star Region was equivalent to a county town from a previous life, then the Sneer Dragon Star Region would be the provincial capital, with the Sneer Dragon Floating Land being the very center of this thriving metropolis, incomparable in prosperity.
Thus, like anyone transitioning from a county to a provincial capital in a previous life, one would inherently have all sorts of curiosity, especially now when the Sneer Dragon Floating Land was at its busiest in tens of thousands of years due to the grand celebration of the Zhangsun family ancestor.
Sneer Dragon City, located within the Sneer Dragon Floating Land, had always been an open city even on regular days, bustling with activity, but during this period, it reached the peak of its opulence.

After traversing several short-range Star Gates set above the Floating Land, the high-ranking floating airship from the Left Principal Lineage arrived at Sneer Dragon City.
